Many genetic diseases are insidious, especially those REDs whose disease symptoms intensify with each generation. 3X Genetics sponsors testing for diagnosed patients and their families, helping identify at-risk relatives while generating data that advances our understanding of these conditions. Over time, this work supports larger goals: affordable prevalence studies, broader adoption of RED screening and eventual inclusion in newborn screening panels.
Family Testing
Sponsored testing, including long repeat sequencing, is free to diagnosed patients and their families. All patient data is controlled by the patients themselves, and testing of undiagnosed family members is conducted only after consultation with a genetic counselor.
This program gives families the information they need to establish proper care and protect future generations. It also provides sponsors, including researchers, foundations and biopharma companies, with the de-identified data required to accelerate the development of effective therapeutics.
